Oct 7, 2012 - Burnaby-Vancouver

October 7, 2012 This camp has a gym so after my routine exercises I worked out on the treadmill for a half hour. Had I known how the day would play out, I would not have done that! Today we are figuring out public transportation and how we can get to places we want to go with or without bikes. We have several maps but none are really with a darn. After breakfast we took a 45 minute ride around the Burnaby Recreation Area next to camp. Beautiful fall day again and a lovely bike ride. Met Tracey and Chris from San Antonio on the way to the...

Oct 6, 2012 - Whistler to Burnaby, Canada

October 6, 2012 For the past couple of nights Bob and I have been playing cribbage after dinner. When we camped in Europe 40 years ago, cribbage was a daily activity ( and often, most of the day activity when it was so cold we sat in the Geneva Airport to stay warm!) I was so animated that I knocked a full glass of red wine all over the rear of the rig. Thank goodness for the “snake oil” Ann Honeywell and I bought from door-to-door salesmen a many years ago. Cleaned right up! Awoke to another brisk, but gorgeous fall morning which was...

Sep 3, 2012 - Burnaby BC - Burnaby Cariboo RV Park

We took off from Quesnel this morning with the plan of stopping before we got to Vancouver, but the road was good and we made pretty good time so we pressed all the way to our RV Park just short of Vancouver. We did stop at a nice cafe in 70 Mile House at the Dusty Rose Cafe for a good lunch. We all had different things and all were excellent. I especially liked the seafood melt. There were plenty of sights and unfortunately we were just a bit late to tour Hell's Gate. Did check out the area though and definitely a place to go on another...

Mar 28, 2008 - Best Friends (what do they look like again)

Just kidding, It was nice to be able to go and see my best friends from high school. It is hard to believe this year it is twenty years ago that we graduated. Thanks for reminding me Linda. Anyway we got to spend the day with Mario, Sabrina, Vanessa, Julia & Johnathon, and with Rob, Linda, Devin and Kassia. It has been to long since we spent anytime with them. The kids are all getting way to big and it is always nice to see how well they play together. On the way there we went by a few Canadian Tire's to find that elusive GPS for Paul. He...

Nov 30, 2007 - Burnaby Wal-Mart

Friday November 30th...9:30pm Ruth had her first driving lesson with Sherman this morning. The industrial area we were parked in the night before was perfect for a little practice session. The streets were empty. Anyhow, I think she'll do fine. The toughest thing about driving Sherman is changing lanes and judging your distance from someone else using the mirrors. That's something that comes with practice and patience. We drove into Maple Ridge and found a side street to park on. We were walking distance from a number of notary publics and...

Aug 27, 2007 - Last stop in Canada, Vancouver area

We only had a 90 mile drive to arrive at Burnaby, Canada which is approximately 11 miles from Vancouver. We had heard from other RV'ers how horrendous the traffic is in Vancouver. It certainly proved to be right. The RV park is nice, but the spaces are tight. They have an indoor pool and spa and a work-out room. We decided to go downtown Vancouver the 2nd day here. The drivers are very erratic and drive aggressively. Bill's time driving to LA when he worked for the District came in handy. We tried to find parking on Robson Street, which was...

Jun 13, 2007 - Oliver to Burnaby

Today we drive to Burnaby, the last day of mountain driving until we return. After much investigation and talking to people (folks next door are from Penticton and travel various ways to Vancouver), we've decided to continue on H3. So today's travel is Oliver - Osoyoos - Princeton - Hope - Burnaby. Three significant climbs include Richter Summit (outside Osoyoos) and Sunday Summit and Alison Pass Summit between Princeton and Hope. Left around 8:30am in sunshine and warm temperatures. The Richter Summit climb was average and the drop down...
